Wychwood Barns Farmers Market
I had a day off on Saturday and the Haggis and I went to the Wychwood Barns Farmers Market.
We have been trying for some time now to eat more healthy food and we have payed attention to were our food comes from. There is a trend towards being a "locovore" that is, eating food that is native to your area instead of food shipped from far away. The concept has merit. It is more environmentally friendly as a tomato grown in Ontario will make less of carbon footprint than one that was shipped from Mexico. Also food that has less travel time does not need to picked unripe and will loose less nutrition in the travel time.
Local farmers markets have been springing up all over the place, and with food like this, is it any wonder that they are so popular?
